Bishop, an African-American, first won this seat in 1992, when the district was majority white. Though that has changed, his fiscal conservatism has not.Esquire endorses: Bishop

District 3

Lynn Westmoreland (R)

Stephen Camp (D)

Upon arriving in the House in 2004, reactionary Westmoreland distinguished himself by pushing for the Ten Commandments to be displayed in the Capitol. Stephen Colbert then humiliated the congressman by asking him to name the commandments. He couldn't.Esquire endorses: Camp

An absolute rock in the ongoing fight for civil rights, Lewis links the march on Selma in 1965 to today's battles in defense of gays and immigrants. He's irreplaceable.Esquire endorses: Lewis

District 6

Tom Price (R)

Bill Jones (D)

Price has been a sensible conservative voice since his election in 2004, especially on health care. But now he's pushing the GOP line on gas prices: that offshore drilling will have a "psychological" effect on the market. We'll call this an uncharacteristic bout of election-year panderitis.Esquire endorses: Price

District 7

John Linder (R)

Doug Heckman (D)

Linder's a friend and coconspirator of Newt Gingrich, whose mercurial conservatism, while preposterous in power, at least offered principles over which to argue and compromise. Party like it's 1995, Georgia.Esquire endorses: Linder

District 8

Rick Goddard (R)

Jim Marshall (D)

Marshall has the backing of Veterans for Freedom. Goddard has the backing of Dick Cheney.Esquire endorses: Marshall

District 9

Nathan Deal (R)

Jeff Scott (D)

Deal switched parties in 1995. Unfortunately, he came under the spell of Tom Tancredo, and now his obsession with illegal immigration blinds him to reason on all other issues.Esquire endorses: Scott

District 10

Paul Broun (R)

Bobby Saxon (D)

Broun's so conservative, he supports medical marijuana. Not to do so, in his eyes, would amount to sanctioning government interference in private behavior. Damn hippie.Esquire endorses: Broun

District 11

Phil Gingrey (R)

Bud Gammon (D)

When it became clear that conditions at Walter Reed were abysmal for the most severely injured Iraq veterans, Gingrey downplayed them. He was, he said, "glad to know that those cockroaches were belly-up. It suggested to me that at least someone was spraying for them." Nice. With any luck, Gingrey will be belly-up come January.Esquire endorses: Gammon

District 12

John Stone (R)

John Barrow (D)

In a district that leans Republican, the conservative Barrow supported the president on immigration and wiretapping while siding with his party on most other issues. That fits this district nicely.Esquire endorses: Barrow

District 13

Deborah Honeycutt (R)

David Scott (D)

Many Democrats are uncomfortable with a conservative African-American. We suggest they say, "Welcome to the party, Mr. Scott."Esquire endorses: Scott
